This file contains release notes for the SimpleNetworkStarter application.

Notes Specific to Release 3.3

New features

·	When it starts up, SimpleNetworkStarter creates backup copies of /etc/netinfo and /etc/hostconfig in /etc/netinfo.backup and /etc/hostconfig.backup. 

·	During startup, SimpleNetworkStarter checks the system and network configuration. This may take a few moments. 

·	SimpleNetworkStarter keeps a log of its activities. You can examine log messages in its Log View. A duplicate copy of the log is written to the file /usr/adm/SNS.log. This log file is cleared each time you start up SimpleNetworkStarter. The log includes a report of the network and system configuration that SimpleNetworkStarter determines at startup as well as a report of all configuration changes that it makes when you configure a computer.

·	You can use SimpleNetworkStarter to undo or change an existing configuration.

·	Support for simple SNMP configuration has been added.

·	You can configure new NetInfo clone servers on new subnets using the NetInfo Options panel. This panel is enabled only if the computer is on a subnet that has no servers for a parent NetInfo domain. In such a case, you can configure the computer to run a clone NetInfo server of a master on another subnet.

Changes

·	SimpleNetworkStarter no longer checks memory size and disk space availability for various server configurations.
